CANF Trustee Assassinated in PR

From the AP:

Ex-official of Cuban group killed in Puerto Rico

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - Authorities say a former official with a Cuban-American group that was once the foremost voice representing the exile cause in Washington was shot dead in a Puerto Rican suburb.

Police say 64-year-old Emiliano Infante Segrera was killed Monday afternoon outside a suburban San Juan hardware store by a gunman inside a car. He was a longtime trustee of the Miami-based Cuban American National Foundation.

Police Lt. Luis Diaz told the newspaper El Nuevo Dia that Infante appeared to be shot by an expert marksman. The killing is under investigation and no arrests have been made.

Francisco Hernandez, the foundation's president and co-founder, said Tuesday that Infante devoted his life to promote democracy on the communist nation.

Have any other such killings occurred recently ...
Raul and friends may be old and gaga, but it they give orders there seem to be some willing to carry them out.
